Based on intersubjectivity theory, this study collected 709 sample data through scenario experiments to explore the influence mechanism of robot mindfulness on employee’ creative deviance. The results show that: robot mindfulness inhibits creative deviance by increasing employee’ self-esteem threat, while it promotes creative deviance by stimulating employee’ need for uniqueness. Furthermore, growth mindset negatively moderates the relationship between robot mindfulness and self-esteem threat, and positively moderates the relationship between robot mindfulness and the need for uniqueness; growth mindset respectively moderates the indirect effects of robot mindfulness on employee’ creative deviance through self-esteem threat and need for uniqueness.
